4. APPROVED CHANGE(S):

a. Brief Overview of Change: This change modifies the source location of 

transportation reference tables previously found in LOGDRMS and used for DLMS supply 

transactions. With the exception of the Transportation Method/Type Code Conversion Guide, 

the reference tables will point to TRDM without replication of the code lists in LOGDRMS. 

Some of the DLMS qualifier names used in LOGDRMS, and some of the qualifier codes 

contained in LOGDRMS may be different in TRDM. The specific changes for each reference 

table are identified in the enclosures that follow. 
2 ADC 1024, Attachment 

b. Background:

(1) USTRANSCOM recently completed an update of its reference data 

management system by migrating the original Table Management Distribution System (TMDS)

to the USTRANSCOM Reference Data Management (TRDM) system. 

(2) Initially stood up in 1995 by the Air Mobility Command (AMC) to ensure 

data synchronization within the Defense Transportation System (DTS), TMDS expanded in 1998 

to include multiple systems across the DTS. In 2001 the Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of 

Defense (ADUSD) Transportation Policy expanded the scope of TMDS to include logistics data, 

and in 2004, it moved out of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) cognizance and 

under USTRANSCOM. Now that the USTRANSCOM migration of the reference data 

management system to TRDM is complete, this change updates the data content and the data 

source references within the DLMS authorized transaction repository, LOGDRMS.

(3) Prior to this ADC, there were two potential sources for transportation 

references tables. One source was in LOGDRMS for use in DLMS supply transactions; the other 

was TRDM for the transportation community. The tables were maintained independently of one 

another. This change accomplishes the following:

(a) Identifies TRDM as the single authorized reference data source for

transportation reference tables, used in supply transactions.

(b) Approves the removal of the code list duplication of the identified 

transportation code tables maintained in LOGDRMS.

(c) Describes in LOGDRMS the logistics domain use of selected TRDM 

code tables without replicating the code sets.

c. Describe Approved Changes in Detail: 

(1) LOGDRMS Logistics Qualifiers 

(a) LOGDRMS will no longer be considered the authorized reference 

data source for the logistics qualifiers identified in Table 1 below.

(b) A reference will be included in LOGDRMS to direct the user to 

TRDM to obtain the code lists. For Logistics Qualifier *9 (Transportation Method/Type Code 

Conversion Guide) and *A (Type of Pack Conversion Guide), LOGDRMS will continue to 

maintain a copy of the code lists, synchronized with TRDM. 

(c) Some of the LOGDRMS tables will require access to multiple TRDM 

tables to construct the concatenated DLMS data element name. With users accessing TRDM for 

the code lists, there will be changes to the previously published code lists in LOGDRMS. A 

summary of the most significant differences are indicated in Table 2.

(2) Code List Maintenance by TRDM. USTRANSCOM is responsible for 

management of the transportation tables found in TRDM, including any changes or updates. The 

TRDM tables contain codes, related values, metadata, and point of contact information for the 

data manager. See Enclosure 1 for more specific details about TRDM. 

(3) User Access to Code Lists. The process to obtain transportation reference 

table data for DLMS transactions is to use the authorized reference data source. TRDM is 

accessible using the DOD-preferred method of access to enterprise data, a net-centric capability 

available through a web interface. Users who have a Common Access Card (CAC) can selfregister and access the reference tables on the TRDM website: https://trdm.c2.amc.af.mil.

(4) Reference Table Change Management Process (Logistics Domain 

Requests). The change management process for logistics domain-requested changes to these 

reference tables will be coordinated through the DLMS Supply Process Review Committee 

(PRC), USTRANSCOM, and the TRDM Program Management Office. The requested changes 

will be subject to the Proposed DLMS Change (PDC) process, and provided for review by the 

Supply PRC members. USTRANSCOM is a voting member of the Supply PRC, and the TRDM 

PMO is on distribution for all DLMS changes. The general rules that will apply to the change 

management process for review of the proposed changes are as follows:

(a) Proposed DLMS Changes (PDC) will be submitted to DLA Logistics 

Management Standards Office for coordination and comment with the Supply PRC, 

USTRANSCOM, and TRDM.

(b) DLA Logistics Management Standards Office will evaluate proposed 

changes and provide comments and analysis or recommendations.
5 ADC 1024, Attachment 

(c) Staffing progress and current status of the proposed changes will be 

shown on the DLA Logistics Management Standards Office website.

(d) There will be a resolution process for objections or comments of note, 

subject to the review of the Supply PRC members.

(e) Upon completion of the comment resolution process, proposed 

changes will be coordinated with USTRANSCOM and the TRDM PM. Upon review and 

implementation approval by USTRANSCOM, an Approved DLMS Change (ADC) will be 

released to the Supply PRC, with concurrent configuration documentation released by the 

TRDM PMO to its stakeholders.

(5) Reference Table Change Management Process (Transportation Domain 

Requests). The change management process for transportation domain-requested changes to 

these reference tables will be coordinated by the TRDM PMO standard configuration 

management process. Once the change is approved and loaded into TRDM, DLA Logistics 

Management Standards Office will receive email notification from the TRDM website. 

(a) Minor Changes to the Reference Table. DLA Logistics 

Management Standards Office will prepare an administrative ADC for release to the Supply PRC

announcing the change. An example of a minor change is the introduction of a new code value 

to a table. 

(b) Significant Changes to the Reference Table. DLA Logistics 

Management Standards Office will release a PDC to the Supply PRC for coordination. PRC 

comments/non-concurrences will be coordinated with USTRANSCOM and the TRDM PMO for 

resolution. Upon satisfactory resolution, DLA Logistics Management Standards Office will 

release the ADC formally announcing the table changes to the Supply PRC. If the results of 

comment resolution require a change by the TRDM PMO, the ADC will be released concurrent 

with the TRDM change. An example of a significant change is a modification of the metadata 

(e.g., field length changed from two positions to three positions). 

d. Revisions to DLM 4000.25 Manuals: Add new Chapter 4 to DLM 4000.25, Volume 

3, Transportation. This new chapter identifies the transportation reference tables used in 

logistics transactions and the change management process for maintaining the transportation 

reference tables. See Enclosure 2.

e. Alternatives: For the reference tables, that TRDM is the authorized data repository 

source, maintain a copy of the code lists in LOGDRMS. The weakness of this approach is that 

the LOGDRMS tables may get out of alignment with TRDM, since LOGDRMS does not have a 

systemic interface with TRDM so as to be updated near real-time. If at some point in the future, 

LOGDRMS is capable of a web interface with TRDM, then maintaining a copy of the required 

code lists in LOGDRMS can be revisited.

5. REASON FOR CHANGE:

a. These changes are intended to harmonize the transportation tables, codes, definitions,

and values used in DLMS supply transactions with one authorized reference data source found in 
6 ADC 1024, Attachment 

USTRANSCOM’s TRDM. In addition, they will eliminate duplicate table maintenance and the 

constant synchronization challenges to keep the tables in unison. The new single source for the 

reference table data in TRDM will prevent differences in the use of code values due to multiple 

sources that may not contain the same information at the same time. 

b. These changes were determined after completion of a data cleansing analysis to 

ascertain the status of the tables and codes already in use, a review of DLMS supplements, and 

the Defense Transportation Regulation, to determine how best to organize the reference table 

data for the future. There will now be one source for the transportation table values for DLMS 

transactions upon implementation of this change. 

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: The logistics and transportation domains will use the same reference 

tables, codes, definitions, and conversions for transportation values used in supply transactions. 

This synchronization will promote interoperability, and potentially ease conversions for 

enterprise systems, such as Asset Visibility (AV), DLA Integrated Data Environment (IDE), and 

IDE/Global Transportation Network (GTN) Convergence (IGC) that store and access data from 

both the logistics and transportation domains. 

b. Disadvantages: Users querying LOGDRMS for these code lists will need to be 

redirected to TRDM. Users will need to establish TRDM accounts for complete access to the 

code lists.

7. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: August 31, 2012

8. IMPACT:

a. New DLMS Data Elements: None

b. Changes to DLMS Data Elements: LOGDRMS to update the metadata associated 

with the impacted transportation tables. See Enclosure 3 for details.

c. Components: Coordination is required with USTRANSCOM to obtain access to 

TRDM. See Enclosure 1 for details about accessing TRDM.

d. Non-DLA Logistics Management Standards Publications: Components need to 

update their DLMS and MILSTRIP procedures to reference the new authorized data repository

location in TRDM for the identified transportation-related tables and values as described in this 

document

Enclosure 1

USTRANSCOM Reference Data Management (TRDM)

Repository Information

1. TRDM is a reference data repository operated by USTRANSCOM (Air Mobility Command -

AMC), which stores and manages both standardized and approved non-standard 

transportation reference data. It provides a one-stop shopping capability for transportation 

reference tables, the distribution of reference data, and the synchronization of managed 

transportation data with defined sources. 

2. TRDM users can view data and associated metadata with the codes. The information 

provided also includes logical name, physical name, definitions, table and field descriptions, 

and authoritative source information.

3. TRDM uses data stewards to update the transportation data on prescribed schedules. The 

data, reference tables, and associated metadata are published on web pages and made 

available through subscriptions as well. The subscription service automatically sends the 

transportation data to subscribing automated information systems and authorized end-users.

4. The web address for TRDM and user information is: (https://trdm.c2.amc.af.mil). A valid 

DOD issued Common Access Card (CAC) is required to access TRDM.

5. To self-subscribe to TRDM, go to https://trdm.c2.amc.af.mil/trdm. Click the link to request 

registration. The registration page requests citizenship status, email address, and a 

commercial phone number. Once registered, returning to the TRDM page will automatically 

log you in.

TRANSPORTATION REFERENCE TABLES 

FOR DLMS TRANSACTIONS

C4.1. GENERAL. This chapter documents procedures for the use and maintenance of 

transportation reference tables used in DLMS Supply transactions. The USTRANSCOM 

Reference Data Management (TRDM) is the authorized data repository source for 

transportation reference tables. The Logistics Data Repository Management System 

(LOGDRMS) maintains a list of authorized DLMS Logistics Qualifiers that are associated to 

selected TRDM reference tables. To ensure synchronicity and ease of access to the code 

lists, this chapter outlines the transportation reference tables to be accessed in TRDM via 

LOGDRMS and documents the change management process for these tables.

C4.2. APPLICABILITY AND SCOPE. 

C4.2.1. This guidance is applicable to DLMS Supply transactions that use certain 

transportation reference table information. 

C4.2.2. See Table T4.1 for the list of the applicable qualifiers and DLMS Supplement 

number references.

C4.3. PROCESS OVERVIEW. The DLMS logistics qualifier codes in Table T4.1 are used in 

logistics DLMS transactions to identify transportation related information. 

C4.3.1. LOGDRMS shall maintain a list of authorized logistics qualifier codes associated 

with TRDM transportation reference tables. The metadata in LOGDRMS shall define the 

DLMS data element name, the TRDM table name as the alias, a definition along with any 

special business rules associated with the construct/use of the table, and the TRDM URL and 

table name containing the list of authorized code values.

C4.3.2. LOGDRMS shall maintain the Transportation Method/Type Code and Type of 

Pack Conversion Guides, both metadata as defined in C4.3.1. and the code lists.

C4.3.3. TRDM shall maintain the transportation reference tables and a website that is 

accessible by users from the logistics domain.

C4.4. CROSS REFERENCE OF LOGDRMS AND TRDM TABLE NAMES 

C4.4.1. Table T4.2 establishes a cross reference of the LOGDRMS logistics qualifiers 

and table names to the TRDM table names.

C4.5. REFERENCE TABLE CHANGE MANAGEMENT PROCESS 

C4.5.1. Logistics Domain-Requested Changes. The change management process for 

DLMS standards is contained in DLM 4000.25, Volume 1, Chapter 3, Change Management. 

The change management process for logistics domain-requested changes to these reference 

tables shall be coordinated through the DLMS Supply Process Review Committee (PRC), 

USTRANSCOM and the TRDM Program Management Office (PMO). The requested 

changes will be subject to the Proposed DLMS Change (PDC) process, and provided for 

review by the Supply PRC members. USTRANSCOM is a voting member of the Supply 

PRC, and the TRDM PMO is on distribution for all DLMS changes. The general rules that 

apply to the change management process for review of the proposed changes are as follows:
4 ADC 1024, Enclosure 2 

C4.5.1.1. Proposed DLMS Changes (PDC) shall be submitted to DLA Logistics 

Management Standards Office for coordination and comment with the Supply PRC, 

USTRANSCOM, and TRDM.

C4.5.1.2. DLA Logistics Management Standards Office shall evaluate proposed 

changes and provide comments and analysis or recommendations.

C4.5.1.3. Staffing progress and current status of the proposed changes shall be 

shown on the DLA Logistics Management Standards Office website.

C4.5.1.4. There shall be a resolution process for objections or comments of 

note, subject to the review of the Supply PRC members.

C4.5.1.5. Upon completion of the comment resolution process, proposed 

changes shall be coordinated with USTRANSCOM and the TRDM PM. Upon review and 

implementation approval by USTRANSCOM, an Approved DLMS Change (ADC) shall be 

released to the Supply PRC, with concurrent configuration documentation released by the 

TRDM PMO to its stakeholders.

C4.5.2. Transportation Domain-Requested Changes. The change management 

process for TRDM standards is documented in USTRANSCOM standard operating 

procedures. Once the change is approved via the TRDM configuration management process 

and loaded into TRDM, DLA Logistics Management Standards Office will receive an email 

notification from the TRDM website.

C4.5.2.1. Minor Changes to the Reference Table. DLA Logistics Management 

Standards Office shall prepare an administrative ADC for release to the Supply PRC 

announcing the change. An example of a minor change is the introduction of a new code 

value to a table.

C4.5.2.2. Significant Changes to the Reference Table. DLA Logistics 

Management Standards Office shall release a PDC to the Supply PRC for coordination. PRC 

comments/non-concurrences shall be coordinated with USTRANSCOM and the TRDM PMO 

for resolution. Upon satisfactory resolution, the DLA Logistics Management Standards Office

shall release the ADC formally announcing the table changes to the Supply PRC. If the 

results of comment resolution require a change by the TRDM PMO, the ADC shall be 

released concurrent with the TRDM change. An example of a significant change is a 

modification of the metadata (e.g., field length changed from two positions to three positions, 

deletion of an existing code).
